    Recently I've stumble across a post on facebook about how hi-point is having a contest for who could come up with the best name for their new pistol. The comments did NOT disappoint lololololol hahahahah. :):

    Unfortunately they're not choosing any of the top names. My favorite was "Yeet Cannon."

    HK even called them out saying that the should name their new pistol YC-9 (yeet cannon) Hi-point is backing out now.

    Now it looks like the people have spoken and yeet cannon will be featured. Hi point seems to be trying to save face by playing it off like they were going to use that name in the contest all along.

    No way! :rofl:



    I guess it is what you do when it's out of ammo.
    You don't reload, you just yell "This ***** Empty! YEET!" and throw it at your opponent.

    Their Instagram post had more than 3,000 comments in under 24 hours, with the majority of those being "YEET" or something along those lines. Either they really were planning on doing YC-9 vs whatever else had the most votes, or they are covering up.
    Either way, my next pistol will be a Yeet Cannon if they go through with it.

    I just dont get it. Ill never blow my money on a hipoint. I dont care what name they put on it.
    Hipoints keeping the same marketing strategy as theyve had for years. Separating fools from their money.

    You'd buy one if it was game used and had some baseball players ball sweat on it. :):
